Thcmembers of the committee are very! much encour aged at the Democratic gains so far, and they think from all the intelligence re ceived by them that the ratio of gains will be" greater in November than in October. Tbe committee has alvices indicating a gain of two members in "Michigan, and one if not two" in Illinois. The finances of the committee are in a very healthV condition, for although the ; balance on,; hand is not startling, all the obligations have been liquidated, and the committee twill : termi nate its labors free from, debt; Thi3 will be something rather knusual in the history of political committees.

That passengers would be benefited by using the sleeping car only at night and a parlor car by day tliereby avoidipg 1 the stuffiness and deteriorated atmosphere of sleeping cars which are in continuous jise does not admit, we think, of two opin ions. The change, as suggested, from the night car to the day car on a continuous route would consequently be a healthy one, as the sleeping ear could be aired and ven tilated while the parlor car was in use. As to the economy of the change, that is a matter between the traveller and ;the 1 rail road company, but it is quite certain that any modification of an existing travelling arrangement which tends to promote the health of the passengers is deserving of consideration, and as the managing officials of the trunk .lines are to discuss the subject at their next'general meeting they may safely left to decide upon what is best to be done.
